USE OF MECHANICAL REMEDIES.

Colds and Croup-Hand Baths-Mustard
Draughts-Coid Feet-Pneumonia-
AT this season coughs, colds and con-
gestions of various sorts are to be looked
for. If the blood can be drawn away
from the parts congested, relief will at
nee be afforded. A warm wooden shawl
pinned closely about the neck and chest,
covering the arms, if put on when the
first sound of the cough occurs, will al
most infallibly stop it at once. Supple
ment the shawl with a warm brick or
soapstone at the feet, and relief is imme-
diate and often permanent. Twenty-Five
years ago what nights we spent fighting
the Group! The little sufferer would
throw his arms out from under the cover,
and then the cough frightened. But en-
veloped in a shawl this was impossible,
and at last we learned that in cool
weather the children should take their
airing always before sunset, and at the
first suggestion of a cough put ON a
shawl. For twenty years there has been
no Group in the family. This remedy we
have found just as effective with adults
as with children.
Hot foot baths and hot hand baths are
excellent alternatives of the circulation.
The hand baths act more Immediately
than the foot baths, and there is less
danger from after exposure. They are,
too, more easily given. Mustard draughts
(mild) applied to the extremities change
the circulation. Flannels wrung from
hot soda water are extremely helpful in
many cases. Or, if saturated with soda
water, they may be heated by putting
them in a steamer, by placing them OF a
plate in a hot oven. This saves wiring
ing Them, which is difficult when they
are hot. Great relief is sometimes found
from drinking freely water as hot AS can
be comfortably swallowed. 1t draws tho
blood to the stomach. opens the pores and
washes out the clogged sewers of the
body. We ave observed that u patient
suffering from a cough will have rest
from it after u hearty meal. The blood
is summoned to the work of digestion
and the lungs are relieved.
Those who suffer from sleeplessness or
from not sleeping soundly will find help
from wrapping their feet warmly in
n and putting to them a warm
soapstone. Those who must get up in
the night to see to children or invalids
should have IA pair OF night shoes to slip
their feet into, 30 that when they lie
down again cold feet shall not prevent
their falling at once to sleep. AS a warm
ing of what not to do we give the follow
ing. which came under our observation
last winter: A little Irish boy, very i'll
with pneumonia and burning with fever,
begged his mother to put his feet into
cold water, which she did and in "a few
minutes thereafter he ceased to breathe.
Happily for her, she yet does not know
how fatal was her indulgence to her only
boy.-Tribune.

FIRE on the Hellman-Rutledge Ranch.

Fire on the Hellman-RutIedge Ranch.
The barn on the ranch of B. He'll
man and Thomas Rutledge. on Lower
Horse creek, about sixty-fve miles from
this city, was entirely destroyed by fire
about noon on Tuesday, Jan. %.
The efforts of the employees to ~extinguish
the flames were without avail, and the
fire, which was started by a spark from
the chimney of the dwelling house,
consumed the large stock of grain,
farming implements and other tools which
were stored within.
About sixty tons Of hay adjoining
were also consumed. This hay, as well as
four horses which were burned. belonged
to the Union Cattle company, whose
loss will amount to about $1,000. The
loss of Messrs. Hellman and Rutiedge
is about 500; no insurance.

WAKE. DARLING, WAKE

Gently and softly the mother bent
Over the baby in sleeps embrace,
Watching the rosy smiles indent
And dimple the little dreamers face,
And the longed-for kiss she would not take,
Lest peradventure the child might wake.
Gently the mother watched and wept
Over the coffin where lay her child,
Only one thought in her bosom crept
As she bent to her lips in her anguish wild.
Again and again the last kiss to take
oh! II the baby YOU only wakei
